The Democratic Socialists of America pulled its endorsement of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York this week, accusing the progressive congresswoman of being insufficiently supportive of the Palestinian cause and efforts to end the war in Gaza…
Her approach has increasingly strained her relationship with some of the left’s most strident critics of Israel. When she rallied last month in the Bronx with Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Jamaal Bowman, dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators angry over her endorsement of Mr. Biden chanted “You’re a fraud, A.O.C.”
Idk why this is getting downvoted. Some things that these protesters say/do are vile and reprehensible. I have seen them call for that as well as intifada, which is disgusting.
Intifada? If I didn’t know what that means I’d be very upset. 😠
Yes, I know what it means, and that is pretty borderline to me especially when considering it in the results of previous ones in that region. Especially when the word “global” is often positioned before it (I should have probably mentioned that tbf).
